It's back! And it's 348% more awesome

If your target is above 25% health, do not use Soul Fire (+Molten Core) while in Metamorphosis. Reserve your stacks of Molten Core for when you revert to caster form and use SF+MC in place of Shadow Bolt.

However, once you get the ability Decimation, you will get a stack of Molten core whenever you cast Shadow Bolt or Soul Fire or Touch of Chaos on a target below 25% health, this means that as soon as your target is below 25% health, Soul Fire entirely replaces both Touch of Chaos in Meta and Shadow Bolt in Caster form.

While the tooltip doesn't seem to indicate it, Molten Core also reduces the Demonic Fury cost of Soul Fire. This significantly improves the efficiency, and usage, of Soul Fire outside of Decimation range.

Although the default UI will only display up to two "spell alerts" for Molten Core stacks you accrue, the actual number of stacks you can obtain is potentially much higher. Testing on a target dummy without ever casting Soul Fire, I was able to build up 106 stacks of Molten Core. If there is a limit to the number of stacks you can get, it's very high.

Your Shadow Bolt and Soul Fire on targets below 25% health reduce the cast time, mana cost, and Demonic Fury cost of your next Soul Fire by 50%. Hand of Gul'dan damage over time and Wild Imp Firebolt damage have an 8% chance to trigger this effect at any health level. Chaos Wave damage will always trigger this effect.
